Why thank you, Komaru. But I think the others are going to want to search me. They're very suspicious of me. Rightly so, I suppose. By guild and many nation's standards, I am a criminal. Not even an Adventuring-exempt criminal, though they can't stop me, even if they tried. Remind me to casually bring up what I've done to myself only to elicit shocked stares from Ranma and those like him, probably some insults regarding how I'm "No longer human" and "An aberration" or "An affront to nature" or whatever people like that call people like me to shame them, when we proudly wear those labels. Except the affront to nature one. That one is dumb, because all life is part of nature, and building artificial shit is also part of nature. You build your fortresses, your workshops, that isn't unnatural, it's parts of nature building more, different nature. Like seriously, there's city dwelling druids, they agree with me on this. It's a whole new biome, cityscape! It's... Oh, whatever. The point is, remind me to continue to bring up small details about myself that I see as ranging from kind of normal to "a bit quirky, but not too far out" to "huh yeah that's kind of weird I guess", but THESE people see as utterly insane, dangerous, erratic, evil, and other such negative adjectives. Either they'll learn to accept me and my ilk, and be better for it, or they'll prove my point about how they are little different, to the point of being willing to attempt to silence me for speaking such things.
Kellensea stops briefly, before suddenly going off on another tangent. She's still holding her arms out, apparently tirelessly, throughout the whole process. A meme-educated person might say she is T-posing to assert dominance, when in practice, it's quite clear she's T-posing to fake submissivity.
...I wish my party was here. Not the new ones, the kids... well, I say kids. Two of them are older than me. I mean my original ones. They're... competent and all, but they're not like my original party. Zharzy and Sedriel are dead, they're not coming back... but at least the other two... Sauthaiss and Lansse. Haven't talked to them since... since the night Sedriel died, I think. Vels that was... not a good funeral. Two of them, within weeks of each other. Ugh. To be back in the days when we were all active duty agents. Those were the days. You'd all probably think them as neurotic, hollow, fanatical, and unremittingly bitter respectively... and of course, all too much like me for your liking, but they... they were good friends.
She falls silent again. For how silent the silence is that comes from her when she's not speaking, to the point of even her breathing being undetectable, one certainly wouldn't think she's particularly talkative. It's almost jarring, like a lot of things about her, perhaps.

I am the They who says it!
